I am a single parent of a teenage daughter. I have been divorced since 2019 and single since 2017. I restarted my career at the age of 40 when I separated. I moved with my 10 year old kiddo to a new city with new lifestyle. Life was tough but with proper support and determination, I could turn around my life. I am still work in progress and healing from what I went through. So, I want to open this forum for all single women who need support, love and a space of non-judgmental sharing. Let us build a community of understanding and togetherness. YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE(YANAA) Cheers, Sandhyaa S Pillai

could you pls explain effective parenting? what is the outcome you are expecting? for me co-parenting was to ensure my daughter gets the parenting from both sides and have a holistic approach to her life. it was about her freedom to choose too. so we both ( I and my ex) set some rules from the beginning. i have to been her primary guardian for major decisions in life and he has been the financial guardian. having said that ...we both are well informed of all her life decisions and take permissions from each other when it comes to her well -being. we are respectful of each other's expectations as a parent

Our childhood plays a major role on how we will be as a child. There are many different kinds of parenting and we will try to discuss bit-by-bit everyday. हम एक बच्चे के रूप में कैसे होंगे, इसमें हमारा बचपन एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। पालन-पोषण कई प्रकार के होते हैं और हम प्रतिदिन थोड़ा-थोड़ा करके चर्चा करने का प्रयास करेंगे। Authoritarian Parenting अथोरिटीयन पेरैंटींग 1. Does any of these statements sound like your childhood? क्या इनमें से कोई भी कथन आपके बचपन जैसा लगता है? 2. Your parents believed kids should be seen and not heard. आपके माता-पिता का मानना था कि बच्चों को देखा जाना चाहिए, सुना नहीं जाना चाहिए। 3. When it comes to rules, they believed it's "my way or the highway." जब नियमों की बात आती है, तो उनका मानना था कि यह "मेरा रास्ता या राजमार्ग" है। 4. They didn't take your feelings into consideration when you were a child जब आप बच्चे थे तो उन्होंने आपकी भावनाओं पर ध्यान नहीं दिया 5. Your parents have often uttered the words "because I said so" when you as a child asked questions and they never explained reasons behind the rules. जब आप एक बच्चे के रूप में प्रश्न पूछते थे तो आपके माता-पिता अक्सर "क्योंकि मैंने ऐसा कहा था" शब्द कहते थे और उन्होंने कभी भी नियमों के पीछे के कारण नहीं बताए। Is this the parenting style you had as a childhood. Comment so that we can discuss more क्या आपके बचपन में पालन-पोषण की यही शैली थी? टिप्पणी करें ताकि हम और अधिक च#parenting्चा कर#childhoodस#childhoodmemoriesें #parentingstyle # # # #adulthood #life
